On this day, August 19, in 1902, poet Ogden Nash was born in Rye, New York. His works, usually short in length and part poem/part pun, delighted audiences with their droll wit and gentle humor (such as “Candy is dandy/but liquor is quicker” and “The Lord in His wisdom made the fly/And then forgot to tell us why”). In 1949, he wrote verses to accompany the 14 movements in Camille Saint-Saëns’ humorous musical suite, “The Carnival of the Animals” and now the two are rarely performed separately. Nash died in 1971 in his beloved Baltimore; he was 66.
